'I'm getting to play different characters now, from the ones in my earlier years, when I was a leading actor. Then, you fought with the villain and got the girl at the end of every film. Today, we have different shades of characters -- a man on wheelchair, a 13-year-old child, a mad character like mine in Shamitabh. The roles are wonderful.' Amitabh Bachchan gets ready for Wazir.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan was Bollywood's biggest hit this year.

'The beauty of my job is that no matter how much well I do it, people will say this guy is insensitive, romancing Sonam, dancing with Jacqueline, going to Poland to shoot a film, when he has a hunting case and an accident case against him. He's enjoying himself; he's earning Rs 600 crore but people don't know how much I have. All my good work goes against me.' Salman Khan gets candid.
